Tonight, I want to tell you about another great oceanographic expedition;
one which has been done in the tradition of the past great expeditions,
but with all the tools available to modern oceanography. This is
the International Indian Ocean Expedition, which constitutes the cooperative
efforts of some 27 nations which have committed over 40 oceanographic
research vessels to more than 70 cruises in the Indian Ocean
over the past four years. It has been supported in this country by the
National Science Foundation, the Navy, the Weather Bureau, the Bureau
of Commercial Fisheries and the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Officially,
the International Indian Ocean Expedition is being completed during the
current year but it will be many years before all the data have been
thoroughly analyzed and evaluated.
